DEAR SIR,
The attention of the Council of this Society
has been drawn to the delay in the issue by
the Inland Revenue of
their certificate,
stating whether Increment Value Duty is or
is not payable.
The Council have before them particulars
of a case where a period of eighteen months
elapsed between the dates of the instrument
and of the certificate stating that no Incre
ment Value Duty is payable.
The Council hope that steps will be taken
